Both Quigley brothers have great stuff. Do either have eligibility remaining after this year?

Bottom 6th, a 1 out double for Freeberger, Huber follows with a 1 out RBI double, 8-3 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job by Huber and Freeberger, both of whom are wonderful draft prospects.

Bottom 6th, with 1 out and runners at the corners, a sac fly by Broadhurst makes it 9-3 UConn.

They both have another year of eligibility according to the UConn Media Guide. S. Quigley was a Grad transfer with another year of eligibility, M. Quigley is a Junior.

Top 7th, Nowak faces the minimum with the help of a double play to end the inning after giving up a 1 out single. 9-3 UConn.

Bottom 7th, UConn offense loads the bases with 1 out. However, the Bryant catcher picks off Smith at 1B for the 2nd out. UConn offense leaves 2 runners on base.

Top 8th, Fogell takes the mound for UConn.

Chris Jones has been talking during games how run production is up all over college baseball. UConn pitchers ERA is in the top 75 this season according to Jones, if I heard what he said correctly (have to admit I was slightly distracted doing other postings when he was talking about this). Whatever the case, UConn pitching apparently isn't as bad as some people think if you look how pitching is doing for other college teams.

Top 8th, Fogell retires the first 2 batters who were lefty hitters. Brady Afthim coming in to pitch. Afthim gets the final out of the inning, 9-3 UConn.

Yes, I thought they were #74 in team ERA if I remember correctly. Just looked and they are #92 in WHIP. Wake and Tenn are 1/2 at 2.30 and ~3.00 respectively which is pretty incredible given their schedules.

I’m just gonna resign myself that we were spoiled by BP/Closer over the past few years and this year, we may scuffle some games and hope the offense does what they have been doing for the majority of the games.

Nice game Smitty and Morton.
Definitely need your bats in the lineup.
Morton tying Huber with 8 HR’s dead straight away center. Lets go Ohio next stop!
